This Universal Multi-Purpose Cutting Tool provides versatility and results that are a cut above the rest. You'll find innumerable uses for these handy shears around your house and garden, from trimming flowers, branches, bushes and shrubs to cutting soft plastic, garden hoses, rubber, leather, string, cord, electric wires and much more! The durable Teflon-coated blade provides a razor-blade cut and will not oxidize. And the nylon-covered steel anvil is strong enough for tough cutting, but will not damage tree and plant bark. Combine the two, and you have a powerful tool that makes everything from gardening to decorating to home repair easier. Add the ergonomic, symmetrical design for comfortable use in either hand and you'll run out of projects before you run out of uses for your universal cutter!

I needed something not as big as loppers but stronger than just plain snips. This did the trick. I use it for those odd size branches that otherwise might need a bit of force.
It doesn't seem designed for much other than garden use. Perhaps HSN should review the product so people don't buy it expecting it will do things well that it barely does at all.
I gave it only three stars because it really isn't multipurpose.

The cutter is good for cutting some things, such as hard item like thin plastic or dried twigs. Anything that is softer is difficult to cut. To use as pruning shears may or may not work depending on the hardness or softness of the wood. It's an OK tool but nothing spectacular. Although I returned mine, I would have kept it is the safety locking latch wasn't so poorly designed. It was VERY difficult to lock in the closed position, and this safety issue was the main reason for its return.

We love it, works great. Again, don't blame the tool if you are not using it correctly. Like for any tool, you need to use it correctly and need some strenght in your hands for bigger pipes.GREAT for kitchen use. LOVE IT.

I used the cutter to cut a bathroom carpet (rubberized backing to a lightweight shag). It was hard to us. One must grip hard and "click" each cut. Plus the blade is not long at all. Same problem with a simple thin piece of cardboard. I can't imagine using it on any decent size twigs. I wish I had tried it out before my 30 days grace period expired. I would have returned it, and found something better at Home Depot.

I received this as a gift and just love it. It amazes me at how universal it is and how simple it is. Since I have children I am thrilled that is even has a safety feature lock for when not in use. Do not hesitate to buy this.
